HOT FUDGE SAUCE



Hot Fudge Sauce image

This recipe for a classic hot fudge sauce came to The Times in 2004, from Kay Rentschler. "A well-constructed homemade hot fudge sauce moves forward with dark smoky accents and arrives with plenty of chew," she wrote. Here, bittersweet chocolate and high-fat Dutch process cocoa bring that smokiness, while heavy cream, butter and sugar mellow it out. It's a perfect contrast to the milky sweetness of a sundae loaded with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream.

Categories     Sauce     Chocolate     Dairy     Dessert     Quick & Easy     Gourmet     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

2/3 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped fine
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons light syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a small heavy saucepan heat heavy cream and sugar over moderate heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Add chocolate, butter, and corn syrup and continue to cook, stirring, just until smooth. Bring mixture to a boil over moderate heat and boil 8 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in vanilla and salt. Sauce keeps, covered and chilled, 3 weeks. Let sauce cool completely before covering (any condensation will make it grainy). Reheat sauce, uncovered, over simmering water in a double boiler. Serve sauce hot over ice cream.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is a good choice.
  • Don't overheat the chocolate. Overheating can cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy.
  • Stir the sauce constantly while it is cooking to prevent it from scorching.
  • If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a little bit of milk or cream.
  • If the sauce is too thin, you can thicken it by simmering it for a few minutes longer.
  • Serve the sauce warm over your favorite desserts, such as ice cream, cake, or pie.

Conclusion:

Dark hot fudge sauce is a delicious and versatile dessert topping that can be used in a variety of ways. It is easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give this dark hot fudge sauce a try.
